Genetic haemochromatosis is an inherited condition where the body absorbs too much iron, leading to iron overload. Blood testing is the key to diagnosis and ongoing wellness management. Blood testing is both diagnostic and preventive — it helps identify haemochromatosis early, guides treatment, and ensures you maintain long-term wellness by keeping iron levels safe. Phlebotomy (venesection): Regular blood removal lowers iron levels and is the main treatment. Dietary awareness: Avoid excess iron supplements, limit alcohol (to protect the liver), and moderate vitamin C intake (which increases iron absorption). Monitoring: Lifelong blood tests track ferritin and transferrin saturation to keep iron levels safe. Family screening: Relatives may benefit from testing if there is a known genetic link.
